Speaker 2: For New Zealand Business.

00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: Murray Old's Ossie correspondent is with us MARS.

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: Hello, very good afternoon, Edna.

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Listen. I just got to confirm location. You are in

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: the toilets of a Chinese restaurant.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I am. I'm having a delicious Young char lunch.

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: We've just demolished the first course. Green tea is the

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: only beverage being consumed. I could confirm that, but I

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: am hiding out on the duney okay, because out there

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: in the restaurant's far too noise.

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: Okay, So we're just going to you just bar the

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: door while we have this chat, and then you can

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: let them in afterwards. Not really a surprise, is it

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: that the mushroom chef is appealing the guilty verdicts.

16
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: That's right, dear Aaron Patterson. She's fifty one years old,

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: and if she doesn't succeed an appeal, she will be

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: in jail until she's at least eighty three. Here's the

19
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: thing she's appealing against, the guilty verdicts, not the length

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: of sentence for murdering three relatives, trying to murder report

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: the jury found it guilty. Embarrassed this morning confirmed an

22
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: appeal would be lodged. There's no ground spelled out, no

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: documentation lodged yet formally at least, but Pattison attended the

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: hearing heather by a video link from jail. She's got

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: a new legal team and it's headed by this very

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: high profile barristers guy called Julian McMahon sc and his

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: big name was made when he defended members of the

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: Bali nine Druggis smuggling ring. So yes, that confirmation coming

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: this morning in the in the Victorian Court of Criminal Appeal.

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: How was she affording it? Because I thought she'd sold

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: up everything she had to pay the other barristers.

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: I have no idea and these guys, as you know,

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: five thousand and six ten thousand bucks a day, So

34
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: I'm going to how she's paying for it?

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Interesting? What's happening with your house prices?

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: Must right house prices? New figures today show well it's

37
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: a crisis over here. I understand it's pretty much a

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: crisis over home in New Zealand as well. These figures

39
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: produced by Sky News the Aussie housing crisis bad and

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: getting worse. Housing prices rising nearly twice as fast as

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: wages that since the COVID pandemic twenty twenty, the national

42
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 2: media and house price ever here has jumped fifty two

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: percent the last five years, fifty two percent up from

44
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: five hundred and sixty five thousand dollars December twenty twenty

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: September this year eight hundred and sixty k so three

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars jump three Even things up, Incomes will

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: have to jump, according to these figures, by nineteen percent,

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: or house prices to four by sixteen percent. Neither's going

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: to happen. Salaries are up over the same time by

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: a poultry sixteen thousand dollars, the average salary up from

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: sixty to seventy six thousand dollars. No wonder people are screaming.

52
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: And at the same time, the federal government's just launched

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: this week help for first home buyers. If you've got

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: a five percent deposit, you can now get access to

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: government help to get you in your own home. The

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: rules have been changed. It's called the Home Guarantee Scheme. Previously,

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: you know, young borrelers have to have twenty percent deposit. Well,

58
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 2: good luck on that. You can't save twenty percent while

59
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: you're paying rent somewhere else. So, in other words, this

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: five percent scheme is going to have ninety five percent

61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: borrowings and mortgages. Now there's two warnings this afternoon. It's

62
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: going to push up prices even higher. Plus means testing

63
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: has been removed. God only knows why have it so

64
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: there's nothing to stop they could him the opposition over here,

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: nothing at all to stop wealthy investors jumping in your zumping.

66
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: First time buyers who are desperate cheme get their first

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: little place anywhere, any size, will do just to get

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: their foot in the market.

69
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: Listen, is it becoming more and more likely that Daisy

70
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Freeman is not alive?

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, for sure. Thirty seven days now he's

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: been on the run, no sightings whatsoever. The police, I

73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: don't know why they did it. Today they've renewed the

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: appeal to people, you know, if you know anything about

75
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: us whereabouts, please come forward. By the way, there's a

76
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: million dollar award out there. But there's been no sighting

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: of them, no campfires, no empty tins of bake beans,

78
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: And you'd have to think at some point the police

79
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: are saying the search is continuing but at some point

80
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: of a not too distant future Hither, you'd have to assume.

81
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: They would have to assume that he's dead somewhere out there.

82
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: It's a hell of a remote country, as we've discussed before,

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: and he could be anywhere. But you know, the longer

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: there's no sighting, you'd have to assume he's dead.

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Maz, what's next on the what's your next course?

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: I was eyeing off the spring rolls, but there's some

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: delicious pork buns out there. We already had one one

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: of those and some fantastic little dumplings that I want

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: to second help it.

90
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: I feel like having lunch again, Maz. Thank you very much,

91
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: Go and enjoy it. Murray OL's Australia correspondent. We managed

92
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: to make it through there without without anybody intercepting him

93
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: in the toilet. For more from Hither, Duplessy Allen Drive.
